User blog:Sweetangel823/Announcement: New General Elections!

(We're here, folks! The Senbatsu Sousenkyou/General Elections)

The lights on the stage of Akibastar blacked out, much to the surprise of the performing girls. Being interrupted mid-way through a song, was very unusual. As a matter of fact, it hadn't happened once since they joined 00, so why now?

Their confusion was shared by the audience, several "What's going on?" could be heard, a long with "Is it an attack? DES?". Then, a single spotlight turned on, revealing Hikari.

"I suppose you are all wondering what just happened," she said, "and from the management, we apologize to the members for surprising them like we did and cutting their performance short. We did have a reason to do so, and figured cutting a song short would give this announcement the highest possible impact, because imact it will."

"It has now gone little over a half a year since the first generation of our current understudies joined 00. Since then, they have improved a lot, and we have even had a succession. On top of that, we have also come to accept our second generation of understudies, the 151st generation, who have all adapted into the life of an idol fairly well during their stay here on Akibastar. All of our current girls have a lot of potential, and are trying their wings," Hikari smiled.

"In light of this, and the upcoming season, the management has decided to re-instate an event in AKB's history that has always have had major influence of the lives of the idols and their careers. The management has decided to bring back the General Elections!" At her announcement, an excited and cheerful buzz sounded through the concert hall, and several of the understudies gasped.

"Voting opens May 1st, and until then, you can expect to find an uprise in activity from all of the members."

DO YOU GUYS HAVE ANY IDEA HOW LONG I'VE WAITED TO MAKE THIS ANNOUCEMENT?!

Ahem. Forgive me for that, everyone, I just had to get it out of my system, and now that it is: NO, this announcement is no joke. The SS/GE are coming back and our girls are now suddenly competing!

...That came out weird, I know. Oh well. Starting May 1st, I'll start take note of every activity all members does (via the "Wiki Activity" page) and make a tally of it. The numbers I get with that, will be the first stepping pin to give our characters the appropriate page. To further divide the characters, it is going to be random (I'm going to use a random number generator and using a secret mathematic formula, I'll be able to find out the placing everyone will have). I have spent a lot of time thinking all the possible ways to do the placing, and I've found that this is the most fair option.

Yes, there will be a Senbatsu Song being created after the SS/GE's end, I do already have the basic outlines for it, and hopefully, it won't be a complete let-down^^

The concert for the final announcement, will be July 16th, when the final results will be posted.

Preliminary results will be posted June 25th.
